Platdude in A Bit of a Spin - Jayenkai

[Jayenkai]

This month, Platdude appears to have got himself trapped inside the Alien Spindome!! But don't worry, there are no evil bugs, or even any great big rocks..

Instead, you must simply try to reach the small flag, planted on the right hand side of the screen. Just be wary of all the spikes. Oh, and you can't go back on yourself, either.

Wander about inside the "reels" of the arcade machine, and see if you can make it out to the other side.



You can grab the game from ouya.tv or rummage around on the dashboard to find it.

You can also find alternative OS editions here.

And if you're feeling somewhat bored, art'n'craft yourself a Papercraft Cabinet right here.

Oh good I was worried that there wouldn't be a Year of Platdude entry this month.

[Jayenkai]

I'll be honest...
... So was I!!!

[Steven W. Hunt]

One of those months, eh?

[Jayenkai]

I think I've probably overdone it, this year! Half my mind's saying "AAARGH! Stop coding!!!" but the other half can't wait to get started on the next game!!!

Impossible game! Damn you! Actually a pretty fun game but yeah most of the time not possible

There is an idea for you. Create a complex looking game that allows the player to come close to winning with a little practice and effort, but make it impossible to actually beat that game. Will drive the completionists mental lol

Pretty sure I've done that accidentally before, but on purpose??
... Hmm.. Would need to be an extremely good game to keep the player playing, before realising it's ultimately impossible.

*considers a remake of a very specific game*
